Tips for Decorating Cookies with Kids

Clear a large work space for decorating, and another space for holding the finished cookies.

Protect clothes with aprons; have plenty of clean kitchen towels on hand.

Display the “naked” cookies on a counter and invite kids to choose the cookies they’d like to decorate.

Divide icing, sugars, candies, confetti, and other decorations among small bowls. Depending on the number of children participating, you may want to form cookie decorating teams and fill bowls with decorations for each team to share.
